Smartmontools provides two utilities, smartctl and smartd, for controlling and monitoring storage systems using the SMART technology built into ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe disks. It gives advanced warning of disk degradation and failure across many operating systems.
Use cases
- check disk health with SMART data
- monitor NVMe drive temperature and wear
- get email alerts when a disk is failing
- run periodic SMART self-tests on drives
- diagnose why a hard drive is making errors
- monitor disk health on a headless server
When to choose
- you need to monitor disk health on Linux, BSD, macOS, or Windows servers
- you want early warning of drive failure via SMART attributes
- you need a mature, scriptable CLI for ATA/SATA, SCSI/SAS, and NVMe devices
When to avoid
- you need a GUI dashboard for storage health
- you only need filesystem-level monitoring rather than hardware SMART data
